Hello, my char was created 2005 but it was not my first char. Orginally I joined SL Sept. 2004. During 2005 there were a lot of great "update features" called out by Linden but they havent been placed yet.

Iam not sure if they still plan to creating them or not but here are my questions regarding them. Maybe someone knows what happend to the ideas.

- New Renderpipeline which features more polygons and faster rending
- Havok 2 Physically Engine
- http support ingame
- Email client ingame for Rl mails
- Voicechat



Thanks

Hiya :)

- http support ingame

I'm not sure if this is what you mean, But at the moment we have the option to add a website into our profile (website tab)
- Email client ingame for Rl mails

As far as I know this isn't a feature

- Voicechat

Theres a lot of posting about voice chat lately, I beleive linden lab intends to implement this feature in the very near future, Tho some residents seem to be against the idea.

I personally wouldn't be able to use it (slow net connection) but I think its an excellent new way for people to communicate

Sorry I couldn't be much help :)

The new render pipeline - being beta tested at the moment, as part of the First Look series of viewers.

Havok 2 - deadish. No news for ages.

Http - If you mean from scripts, they can send http requests and receive responses. If you actually meant html on a prim, that's been a long-stated goal although not much has happened with it.

Email - Scripts can send and receive email.

Voice chat - announced recently for a summer launch.
